Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia made their This Is Us characters proud on Saturday!
The onscreen duo, who portray Jack and Rebecca Pearson on the hit NBC series, traveled to Pennsylvania to announce the Pittsburgh Steelers' fourth round pick for the 2017 NFL Draft.
Moore and Ventimiglia took the stage and introduced themselves to the crowd at Heinz Field, before announcing Tennessee quarterback Joshua Dobbs as the No. 135 overall pick.
"Steelers nation, you guys ready to get those towels up?" Ventimiglia, 39, asked, as fans erupted with cheer.

"What a day!" she later added on Instagram, revealing in her story that she was both "nervous" and "excited" to announce Dobbs' name. "Wish we could have stayed longer but thank you to the people of #pittsburgh and the entire @steelers organization for the hospitality. Can't wait to come back soon with the rest of the cast (and hopefully shoot some scenes for #thisisus 😉). #steelernation."
